The More We Get Together Lyrics

A warm friendship song set to the old Austrian tune "Ach, du lieber Augustin," celebrating togetherness with the line "the more we get together, the happier we'll be." Best for ages 2–7. It is a staple of circle time and classroom welcomes because the lyrics can be personalized — insert each child's name ("there's Aiden and Maya and…") so everyone is greeted by name, which builds belonging and helps children learn their classmates' names. That sense of being seen supports social-emotional development and a positive group identity. Sing it while holding hands in a circle, or as a gentle goodbye song at the end of the day.

The more we get together,
Together, together,
The more we get together,
The happier we'll be.

For your friends are my friends,
And my friends are your friends.
The more we get together,
The happier we'll be.
